Reverse Maruhage Empire

Contents

Background

Hydrate and the top members of the Reverse Maruhage empire, excluding Halon Oni

Deep below the surface of the Earth, below the feet of the commoners and powerful of the Maruhage Empire, there is another Maruhage Empire. A Reverse Maruhage Empire ruled in parallel to the original, controlled by evil, dominating forces who keep authority to those who live in the underground. This Maruhage Empire even has a powerful, maniacal leader similar to the domineering power of Tsuru Tsurulina III, a man known as Hydrate. This emperor used to live on the surface once, but had been banished to the deep, dark below due to his own ambitions. Ever since his banishment, Hydrate has had only one thing on his mind: revenge against the ones who sent him away and to claim his self-proclaimed birthright to be leader of the real Maruhage Empire.

As powerful as Hydrate is on his own, he isn't the only one fighting against the forces of the surface. The beings who live in the Dark World where his Reverse empire is located are notorious for the powers and techniques they possess within their grasp. The four members of the Reverse Maruhage Four Heavenly Kings (dub: The Shadow Big Four) in particular are masters of a special style of technique known as Yamiken, which may seem similar to Shinken abilities of the surface but with the advantages of greater power and the ability to upgrade using the style to a more powerful formation. Furthermore, Hydrate have two side men he brought along (or abducted in one case) with him, both of whom are masters of Fist styles even more powerful than the Yamiken of their underground peers and who's only purpose is the success of the future Maruhage emperor. Yet as the plot between the two worlds slowly comes to fruition, Hydrate and his minions do not expect the resistance they would face on his road to complete domination.

Yamiking

The Reverse Maruhage Heavenly Kings

These are four of Hydrate's best men. They each have the ability to open a "dark fist", where the user magnifies his own power, in order to become more powerful. Powering up however, will result in a transformation that often doesn't even resemble the user. These Heavenly Kings are even more powerful than the original Maruhage Empire's Heavenly Kings.

Halon Oni

The Three Sacks

Crimson

LOVE

Hydrate's Right & Left Hand Men

These two are Hydrate's strongest of henchmen. One of them is the murderer of almost the entire Babylonian warriors, and the other is not only a Hair Kingdom survivor, but one of Bo-bobo's older brothers.
